[Congratulations, Master, for a successful fusion]

[Effect: can resist platinum-tier attacks. The ring can trigger the Symphony of Fate skill.]

[Additional effects: Song of Courage, Song of Wisdom, Song of Glory, Song of Determination, Song of Freedom]

Watson’s gaze was drawn to the Ouroboros on the ring, which he held in his hand. In that world, the Ouroboros symbolized fate, reincarnation, and infinity.

“The Song of the Nibelungs, like the Ouroboros, has a distinct meaning in that universe.”

Watson stroked his chin. He had looked through the books on the shelves to learn magic when he had just transmigrated to that world. One of the books, the Legend of the Dragon Slayer, had left a deep impression on him.

A long, long time ago, the world was not what it was then. It was much larger than anyone had anticipated. The gods still dwelt on the land, and the Rhine, a golden river, meandered through the entire planet. The Golden River was thought to be the incarnation of a particular source of magic. The gold in the river was the world’s most valuable treasure.

A weapon formed out of Rhine gold could pierce a dragon’s neck or even a god’s chest.

One day, an evil dwarf stole a chunk of gold from the river and made it into ten rings. He tried to dominate the world but was killed by a god who discovered him in time. Before he died, the dwarf threw the rings into the river, and he left a vicious curse on it. The person with the rings would gain unparalleled power. As a price, he would lose his beloved forever.

Later, a royal noble named Siegfried found the ring and helped the country resist their enemy’s invasion. He also killed the evil dragon that harmed the country, and he was known as the Dragon Slayer. Then, he fell in love with the young and beautiful princess named Brunhilda.

Watson remembered that story so clearly because his sixth sister, Margaret, who had just gotten out of a bad state of mind at home, had read the story to him. Margaret wanted to become a novelist because she had read that book; she wanted to create a dragon-slaying chapter that was even more exciting than that story.

“Master, you said that those rings came from the border count. Well, the border count lost his favorite sister ten years ago, and these are the Nibelung rings. Does he have anything to do with that legendary story?”

Watson thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled self-deprecatingly. “How is that possible?”

He focused his attention on the ring in his hand instead.

After all, it was a five-in-one ring, so it had half the power of the complete set of the Song of the Nibelungs rings. He decided to try the Symphony of Fate ability.

“Ring, I want to make a wish. Give me another hundred wishes.”

[Sorry, that wish cannot be fulfilled.]

“Alright, it looks like cheating won’t work. In that case, Ring, I want to make a wish. I’m willing to exchange two silver coins for a piece of sweet cake.”

The medium to activate the Symphony of Fate ability was to twist the ring and say the line, ‘I want to make a wish.’ Then, he would need to announce the wish that he wanted to obtain in exchange for something of his. However, if that item did not belong to him, he would need to get permission from the owner first.

As the ring processed his wish, it emitted a bright light.

The ring emitted a bright light as it processed his wish. An illusory shadow appeared on the ring before it gradually turned into a palm-sized, three-layered cake wrapped in cream and cocoa. It had a fragrant and sweet smell; one’s appetite would soar when one looked at it.

At the same time, a voice echoed in Watson’s mind.

[The host has obtained a piece of cake and lost two silver coins. The number of wishes today has been used up.]

“Looks like I made a wish successfully. This ring is quite powerful.” Watson grabbed the cake and stuffed it into his mouth; the rich, sweet cream filled his senses. It was no different from a real cake, from the texture to the feeling of being full. He touched his pocket; he was missing two silver coins.

“Turning silver coins into food; well, this is quite different from the magic I know.”
